It’s always amazing to learn of relationships that have not only lasted for ten years before marriage, but that also stemmed from childhood friendship. Opal and Anthony are from the same small town. Their families have known each other forever, and Opal even works at Anthony’s mom’s flower shop (sidenote: check out these amazing florals!).

Despite (or because of) this longevity, Opal and Anthony’s relationship is fresh, loving, and so dang cute. Taking portraits of them and their loved ones was warm and giggly, not to mention photogenic. Their venue was an enchanted forest next to the ocean — really the best of all worlds, and run by an amazing and creative team. We even got a perfect sunset!
